I drive a 2003 BMW 540i, never winter driven until this year. I usually buy used Mercedes E class cars for my daily driver. That was until my son started to drive, and my insurance premiums went throught the roof.

At the moment, I don't even have a Volvo, but I am working on that right now. As for another Euro brand, I would really like a Mini Cooper S as my next car.

I've got an M3 as my fun car. Used to have a Jetta GLI. Before that another Jetta, a different Volvo, and an Audi with terrible Automatic Transmission problems.

First car was a 1993 Volvo 850 Even I was surprised I could get such a nice car for my first car. I drove it for 5 years and it hardly needed any repairs and held up to my youth/insane driving, sold it to a friend to finance my Second Volvo 850, the one I currently have and treat it like im driving Miss Daisey. The E30 belongs to my girlfriend of 8 years, but since I maintain it, and put gas in it, its become mine and hers. We have owned it for 8 years and its been problem free. Literally in 8 years of ownership, nothing out of the ordinary has needed to be replaced. I am currently saving money for a future 850 R Wagon, or V70 R FWD wagon.

My every day go to work motor is a kit car(Jago)first built in 85 rescued as a complete wreck from a barn and restored(almost)over a couple of years. As with most kits it is an ongoing "labour of love/hate".
